WASHINGTON – The imam behind controversial plans for a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks is being sent by the State Department on a religious outreach trip to the Middle East, officials said Tuesday, in a move that drew criticism from conservative lawmakers.

What the heck? This is the same guy that said: "The US and the West must acknowledge the harm they have done to Muslims before terrorism can end"
